Document Summary

A physical change occurs when a substance alters its physical properties. A chemical change occurs when a substance (or substances) are converted into a different substance. Potential energy is energy due to the position of the object. Kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of the object. When energy is converted from one form to another it is conserved not destroyed. Situations of low energy are more stable and therefore are favoured over situations of high. Mass is constant because an object"s quantity of matter cannot change. Weight is variable because it depends on the local gravitational field that is acting upon it. Extensive properties are variables that are dependent on the amount of substance present. Intensive properties are independent of the amount of substance. Isotopes of an element are atoms that have different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers. Elements in a group have similar chemical properties and elements in a period have different chemical properties.
